Overview

I am a Massage Therapist in Los Angeles with over twenty years of experience serving the Gay/LGBT community.

Each ninety minute or two hour session starts out in a private clean 10" x 10" outdoor saltwater jacuzzi spa with strong jets & a waterfall in an open-air zen garden setting for up to thirty minutes of healing hydrotherapy, meditative breathwork, and Watsu therapy to warm your muscle aches to melt away any stress before the massage.

I combine Deep Swedish..., Reflexology and Stretching with an intuitive touch to relax you. I end each session with a Reiki sound bath using Tibetan bowls, Chakra-colored singing bowls, and Koshi Chimes to help rebalance your mind, body, and spirit.

Please arrive showered with no beauty or skin products on that could wash off in the spa. The spa temperature is between 95-101 degrees. Shower available after the session.

Massage studio is located in Carthay Circle next to Beverly Hills south of West Hollywood off La Cienega and Olympic Boulevard. Driveway parking is provided in this safe neighborhood.

I am vaccinated for COVID-19 and Monkey Pox.

This was an event unlike any I have ever had. I'm not in the habit of writing many reviews, but Brian is totally deserving of the highest praise. His space is secluded, tranquil, private, first-class and very professional. The watsu portion of the massage, which takes place in the saltwater plunge pool outside, is mind-altering. He guides you through every step, encouraging relaxation, meditation and breath. We then moved inside to the table where he gave an excellent deep tissue massage. I do physical work and was desperately in need of a masseur as good as Brian to help me repair some damage and straighten out the kinks. Lots of good stretching here as well; again, severely needed by me. Finally he concludes with a mesmerizing sound bath, carrying away your mind and senses. Truly a one-of-a-kind, five-star experience. Book - you WILL NOT be sorry!

Is there words to describe being in Paradise? Really hard to find. It was my seventh session with Brian. And like all previous times, it simply was breathtaking. Just to enter the most beautiful zen-garden makes me live the real world behind. And it seems, with every session I can relax more and let myself fall into Brian’s amazing arms. The “package” of the whirlpool session, then the most amazing massage ending with a sound therapy is by far the best I ever experienced. Thank you Brian.

From the moment the gate opened, I knew I had made the right choice to book a massage with Brian. He had a beautiful branch of sage burning in his hand and walked me back to his studio. The location is easy to find and you can park in the driveway. His space is tranquil and peaceful. It feels like a five-star spa. The time in the water was amazing and he did a guided meditation with me to allow me to relax and unwind. If you are unsure about booking the 90-minute treatment - you should 100% go for it.

He guides you around the spa, along the waterfall, and does gentle stretching. I could have been done then, I was so relaxed. The massage however was worth the wait. Again, he created a space that made my mind body, and soul feel loved and relaxed. He is amazing with his hands and uses oils that have a wonderful smell. It was a sunny day, so all the doors were open and there was a gentle breeze and the sounds of the wind chimes in the background.

At the end of the session, there was a sound bath - which I love. I left feeling like all my troubles were gone and my mind was at peace.

As you can tell, I highly recommend Brian as a therapist and all-around beautiful person. :)

Nirvana and Heaven on Earth paradise here in LA?? Brian is your Zen Healing God! I get a LOT of massages here - this was a beautiful and tranquil experience. Completely easy to text and chat on the phone with. Driveway parking in a beautiful neighborhood. Nicest friendliest guy. Ok, you get in his backyard and it truly is a sanctuary. CHOOSE the watsu hot tub therapy and if you can swing it a 90 min massage after. Worth every Penny! Brian has such a relaxing private backyard. The hot tub is actually like a plunge pool - biggest I have ever seen. He lets you soak in there - such warm water and hot jets. Perfect to relax you. He then joins you later - this is legit fellas - Google watsu. Imagine just literally floating and being held and almost like a baptism but not dunked. I’ve never done a sensory tank but it felt like that might feel. Truly floating. Warmth. Almost like being held by your mom as a baby. Legit, again, fellas. Beautiful and emotional and so relaxing. Give in and let him maneuver you - it is like cirque do soleil in the water. Then dry off and get on his super massage table, and a wonderful massage studio. Doors can open out for fresh air. We both opted for masks but i felt safe regardless. He’s got those muscular strong hands and arms and elbows that you just WANT in a therapist, but he also works from his heart and soul and he is so super relaxing gliding up and down. He focused on my back and leg pain but still made me feel amazing all over. Love his coconut oil and how it feels In my skin. Truly relaxed and zoned out and blissed and just felt so wonderful. Then a sound bath. Such varying different sounds that put me in an other worldly zone. Then a wonderful chat with my new Healer. He really is a Healer - comes by it naturally and peacefully and soulfully and very focused on it. He’s lived a lot of life and has learned from it all and had many amazing experiences. But in that moment he is there to serve and honor you. Truly therapeutic and legit and other worldly and wowww and ah-mazing. Can’t wait to go back. Much needed and rewarded in this crazy omicron time. Book with Brian today and get zen!
